Wind power is the use of wind energy to generate useful work. Historically, wind power was used by sails, windmills and windpumps, but today it is mostly used to generate electricity. This article deals only with wind power for electricity generation. Today, wind power is generated almost completely using wind turbines, generally grouped into wind farms and connected to the electrical grid.
The Effects of Wind Veer During the Morning and Evening
This study shows that the combined effect of direction and speed shear is affecting turbine operation during high electricity demand times of day, predominantly during the morning at this wind farm.
A database of hourly wind speed and modeled generation for US wind
The repository contains wind speeds and generation based on three different meteorological models: ERA5, MERRA2, and HRRR. Data are publicly accessible in simple csv files.
Where wind power is harnessed
Wind speeds generally change throughout the day and from season to season. For example, in Tehachapi, California, where numerous wind turbines are located, the wind blows more
